Statement from the White House Concerning
the Action of President Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Tbe following state
ment with regard to the Presidents action con-
corning the proposed return of the battle flags
was made at the White House. tonight, to q
representative of the Associated Press:
.'When the question proposed to the Pres
ldent by the Adjutant general. an important
feature suggested was the return to the loyal
States of the flags which had been captured by
the confederates and retaken by our army at the
time of the collapse of the rebellion. They,
with such confederate flags as had been captured
from the enemy by our troops had, it was repre-
sented. for long time lain uncared for and
the. cellar of the War Depart
ment, and had been removed to Ntbe
attic better place for their safe keeping.
The disposition of the flags which seemed to be
answering no good purpose where they were,
the main point; and the consideration
presented to the President that some flags had
been returned to loyal States upon their request
in individual cases, and the rest, if desired,
might well all be returned together The
turn of the confederate flags, which were with
the others in the department.. was suggested.
but there was not the slightest thought OF inter-
fering in any way with the captured flags now
held by any State.
the country. that lately. in one or more cases,
Northern troops visiting their late antagonists
at the South, had returned to them flags which
had been captured in battle from those whose
fact that Northern troops who, within a short
time, had been visiting Southern battle fields
had spoken in the warmest terms of the kind and
hospitable treatment they had received from
former confederate soldiers, and the fact too,
that soldiers from the North and South
just gathering at Washington to meet in friendly
competition at the national drill seemed to indi-
cate that il the Union flags were
returned to the loyal States which mad
lost them in BATTLE it would not
be inconsistent with the fraternal sentiment
which seemed be prevalent to offer at the
same time, to the Governors of the States
tornrerly in rebellion. return Of the flags which
we had taken from their soldiers.
''The right of the department. to make these
returns being questioned by the President such
right was distinctly asserted and precedents
alleged. and thereupon. his oral assent was
given to the proposed action. The matter was
dismissed from his mind until comment there
upon within the last day or two. brought it
again his attention. when. upon personally
examining the law. and considering the subject
morescarefully, he satisfied himself that dis
portion of these flags could be made without
gressional action, whereupon he directed sus-

Special to the indianapolis journal.
MANSFIELD, o., June 16.-Senator Sherman,
to-day, in regard to the rebel flags and the Grand
Army, said: Their flags, their triumphs and
their sacrifices their greatest pride and
glory. This administration does not appreciate
this feeling and cannot understand it. Their
hope, their aim and their pride seem to be in
the principles that were defeated by the Union
army, and in sympathy with confederate ideas
They think it very strange that Union soldiers
should be moved by the return of rebel flags won
in battle, and do not seem to appreciate that this
surrender is a mark Of regret that the flags were
l doubt if any case in history can be found
where such confession made by the sue

trifling matter he will be greatly mistaken.
